So, I may have or may have NOT mentioned that I'm the Hot Lunch
Coordinator at Phoebe's school. I work with the vendors, place the
orders, make the menus etc etc.

I've had two days where vendors just did NOT SHOW UP this year,
I had one rainy day where volunteers gave lunches to kids who said
they should get them without checking the master list, and ending up
short, so that first graders just didn't get fed (and they never called me).
I've over ordered on field trip days, because it wasn't on our calendar,
or it came up after I checked it and planned, and now I just under-ordered
because of ANOTHER field trip that it turns out was back by lunch.

Crap. This job SUCKS. It's a volunteer position, and I'm responsible
for making sure kids GET FED. I get a decent amount of grief for a
volunteer job. Some of it is certainly earned grief, like not ordering enough
food (which was today), but some is not (like parents calling and tearing
into me because they missed the deadline to order, and we won't take
their order for their kids).

I HATE it. I'm terrible at it. I hate it with the biggest passion that I've ever
hated a job. And I'm stuck in it until the end of the year. Is it the end of the
year yet???
